Joey Gladstone 33 Posted October 11, 2012 ....you to have made the offer last week. Window's slammed shut and his trade value is back up to where it was before he got hurt in the preseason. I'm not an owner but after last week It would take a lot to pry him away from me if I was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 146 Posted October 11, 2012 I'm riding him...unless it's a top 3 RB I wouldn't trade him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ditka vs. ______ 0 Posted October 11, 2012 There's too much potential to give him away cheap. I plan on him being an every week starter now that he's playing, so I would want that in return. You may have an opportunity at a package deal if you target the owners weak spot on the roster. i.e. the team I have Mathews on is weak at TE, so I may consider trading him for a RB and an upgrade at TE.

No way I'd take that deal. I want nothing to do with anybody in a Raiders jersey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted October 11, 2012 Most folks that drafted him got him cheap (round 2 - 4). Since they were able to land a RB1 between round 2-4, these teams are probably loaded with QB and WR. Unless there's real need right now, it's going to be tough prying him. I got him cheap after week 4 when they did that depth chart change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Serpent 51 Posted October 11, 2012 Based on his stats so far this year his owners overpaid for him. It remains to be seen if that was a bargain pick or not. His fanatical fans would demand Calvin Johnson and Jamaal Charles in return for him. They're crazy people. Just wait 2 weeks for when he gets injured again. Then they'd "only" demand AP or Foster in return or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McCoy, Foster, Rice and Jamaal Charles...only backs I'd take in his stead. Two for one would have to be a pretty darned good back and decent WR, and only if I was hurting @ WR.

Well I have Charles, T-Rich etc. both are much better RBs, and many are comparable. Mathews owners all overrate him like you're doing too. Nobody is going to give you a top back and a top WR for mathews, he is nowhere near the McCoy, Foster, Rice and Charles class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WR Guru 31 Posted October 11, 2012 Question: What has one thumb and and is bitter about missing Mathews by one pick? This guy up here!!! McCoy, Foster, Rice and Jamaal Charles...only backs I'd take in his stead. There it is. And it wouldn't terribly surprise me if Mathews outperformed a couple of those guys IF IF IF he can stay healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 826 Posted October 11, 2012 As a Mathews owner, I feel beat up since drafting him and finally rewarded. It hurts using an early 3rd round pick on any player missing the first 2 games. When he finally gets on the field he has a bad game, he gets demoted. That was a bit troublesome considering the draft investment. Finally in Week 5 after all the crap, drafters were rewarded with a huge game and confidence in starting Mathews going forward. Sometimes the good guys win.

DexterMorgan 5 Posted October 11, 2012 Offered up Ridley and Ballard to an owner struggling at the #2 RB spot. Not biting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stifler 2 Posted October 11, 2012 I traded Ridley/Hankerson for him a couple of weeks ago and I wouldn't trade him for anything less than another RB1...because that is what he is and they are hard to come by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,653 Posted October 11, 2012 Well I have Charles, T-Rich etc. both are much better RBs, and many are comparable. Mathews owners all overrate him like you're doing too. Nobody is going to give you a top back and a top WR for mathews, he is nowhere near the McCoy, Foster, Rice and Charles class. Last time I checked Charles had more than one fumble on the season. Mathews is very near that class of RB. He has some fumbling issues and injury issues unfortunately in his career. If you are talking about from a talent stand point he is very near the group you mentioned and could be nearly as productive as Foster if in that offense. This is of course subjective for now as he has only one game to show for this year. If he ends up a top 10 RB will you be at least willing to admit he was better than you had believed at this point in the season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he finishes top 10 then he's top 10, not much sense in arguing that. I highly doubt he will finish ahead of Charles and T-Pain however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quickolas1 80 Posted October 11, 2012 I would take McFadden/Demaryius for him/Maclin (and I actually have Mathews/Maclin in one league) ...but that's because I like McFad too and Maclin is always hurt. I personally wouldn't trade Mathews for T-Rich but I do think it's close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cnasty 5 Posted October 11, 2012 I got him for F. Gore (and a dispensable IDP) 2 weeks ago. I was getting laughed at immediately after. I told em it's a marathon, not a sprint. I'm gonna ride the ship until it sinks from here on out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Durtee 0 Posted October 11, 2012 It would honestly take Foster, McCoy or Rice. I had the opportunity to move him for RG3 or Eli a couple weeks ago, I moved Murray for RG3 instead....so glad I did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted October 12, 2012 What is the deal with all the hating on Mathews and his owner? Do you people really hate Mathews that much? The guy isnt cocky or a jackass. He works hard and is always eager to play. Yea hes had some fumbling issues and had some injuries but damn you guys sound like a lynch mob to anyone who likes mathews and is trying to defend him. Last time I checked Charles has fumbles this year and wasnt he injured and out for the season last year? Sorry but to me you guys are throwing rocks at someone just to throw rocks.
